8 Prunes”

A ROMANCE OF THE PACIFIC COAST.
In Three Parts.
By J. ROY STAVER.

Part Three.

66 AN-N O-ZA-AY." A loud voice sounded through the car. In one of
the rear seats a young man started into sudden wakefulness,
"What station did you call?" he inquired of the uniformed in-
dividual coming up the aisle.

"San Jose," replied that worthy.

"That's my station," replied the young man.

Before long there was a crunching of brakes and the hiss of escaping
steam and the train rolled into the station and stopped. With all possible
haste, a grip in each hand, the young man made out of the door. Once out-
side and on the station platform he paused for breath,

“Better get my bearings first," he murmured to himself. “Also ГП have
to find some place to stay."

Upon inquiry, he found there was a very good hotel right across from the
depot. So he decided he would stop there. He had traveled since early
morning and as a consequence was ravenously hungry.

He hied himself at once to the hotel and after sending his luggage to a
room, made at once for the dining-room. He enjoyed the meal immensely.
The food was excellent and the service all that could be expected. Thus, ere
long, he found he had eaten so much that he was very glad indeed to retire
to his room for a little nap.

He felt greatly refreshed on rising and started at once to dress for a call
he was to make that afternoon. “Wonder if she will be angry,” he asked
his reflection in the mirror, as he adjusted his collar. “I wouldn’t blame her
a bit if she were. Here I’ve only known her six weeks, have never seen her
in my life, haven't the slightest idea of what kind of girl she is, yet at this
moment I am preparing to call on her as an old friend. Well, I've got to
take the chance, now I’ve gone this far. I only hope she doesn't get angry."

He pulled on his coat and took one last look at himself in the glass. Yes,
it was Jimmy Valentine, all right. The same old Jimmy, although you would

207

STUDENT S: LANTERN

hardly have known him in his new outfit. He looked rather more like a
professor of some kind than what he really was.

He descended the stairs and requested the boy at the desk to call him a
cab. He hadn't the slightest idea where Genevieve lived so thought it best
to ride. The boy came back almost immediately with word that his cab was
ready. So tossing the boy a coin, Jimmy went outside.

"I want to go to 158 Elm street," he informed the driver. “How far is
rip

"Oh, not far," responded the man. "About ten minutes' ride."

"Well, all right," said Jimmy as he entered the cab. "And say, Driver,
let me off at the corner just before we reach there. I think Га rather not
have them see me come in a carriage."

As he rode along he tried to think what he should say when they came
face to face. What excuse should he offer for his unseemly haste in respond-
ing to their invitation, and too without saying a word about it. Suppose they
should reject his offers of friendship upon meeting him in person? He began
to feel almost sorry he had come.

At that instant the cab stopped.

"Here's your corner, Mister," the driver shouted down to him.

What! So soon! Why it seemed but a moment before that he had
started. However, he alighted and paid the man. He must retain his calm
at all hazards. It would never do to let the driver notice his agitation.

Upon receiving his fare, the man turned around and drove off in the di-
rection from whence he had came, leaving Jimmy standing on the corner,
his last vestige of confidence gone. Never before had he been in such a panic.
It took all the will power he could possible muster to keep his feet from fol- :
lowing that carriage. Ah, but this would never do, he thought. “Faint
heart ne'er won fair ladye." After all there was nothing to be afraid of. He
would walk past first, anyway. So assuming as unconcerned an air as he
could under the circumstances, he started up the street. He watched the
numbers as he went along. One hundred forty, one hundred forty-six.

"It must be the house beyond that high fence," he murmured to himself.
He kept on. He was almost to the fence. Now he had passed it. He looked
into the yard. 4

Suddenly and without warning Jimmy's heart landed with a sickening
thud against the roof of his mouth! His knees smote together beneath him!
For there, in a rocker on the porch, sat Genevieve Billings, looking directly
at him. Had he possessed the ability at that moment, he would certainly
have fled. As it was, however, he remained rooted to the spot.

For the instant Genevieve did not recognize him, but all of a sudden it
came to her,

"Why, Jimmy Valentine!" she cried, running out to him. Who in the
world ever expected to see you here. Come in and sit down." She led him
back to the porch.

208

STUDENT :: LANTERN |

“You must meet mother at once,” she told him, happily. "She'll be real -
glad to see you, I’m sure.” 2
Mrs. Billings, hearing the conversation, came out of the house at that
moment and was promptly introduced to Jimmy. She greeted him most
heartily and bestowed upon him such a kind and motherly smile that dissi-

pated at once all doubts he may have had as to his welcome.

It was impossible for him not to feel at home after that. And Gene-
vieve! Не could hardly keep his eyes away. Не had known and talked with
hundreds of girls in his day, but none like this one. What charm, what
grace! It fairly intoxicated him. How entirely at ease she made him feel,
and how easily the words came to his lips in answer to her questions.

“I was just sitting here waiting for the postman,” she was saying, “when
you came, but I don't care if he ever come now." She smiled at him archly.

“T am sure no one could feel more happy than I do at the present mo-
ment," returned Jimmy. "But a short while ago I was almost sorry I had
come for fear you might be angry."

"Angry!" exclaimed Genevieve. “Why you foolish boy! I’m sure no-
thing could have pleased us more; and I know mother is just as delighted
as I."

'The elder woman smiled indulgently upon them.

“You may be sure, Mr. Valentine," she said, “that the hospitality of our
home is yours for as long as you care to stay. Your most entertaining let-
ters, from which Genevieve, with your permission, has read me extracts, have
created in us a consuming desire to become more intimately acquainted, and
we should indeed be loath to relinquish the opportunity now that it has
come."

Jimmy was over-whelmed.

"Words fail me, Mrs. Billings, with which to thank you," he answered.
“T can but try to deserve the friendship which you so cordially extend."

Thus, now quite acquainted, they chatted on one thing or another all
afternoon. At supper-time Jimmy was for going to the hotel, but they would
not listen to it.

“You haven't forgotten those delightful evenings I wrote you about, have
you?" Genevieve questioned him.

Jimmy hadn't forgotten, no indeed; but he too forward on so short an
acquaintance. However, he only smiled and did as they suggested.

Such a delightful meal it was, too. Such wonderful home cooking!
And, oh, how good it was after what he was in the habit of getting. He was
never more himself than on that evening. All through the twilight and later
into the deepening shadows of the night, as they sat and conversed, he could
not but feel that the advice Mr. Shelly had given him was only too true; that
it was the surroundings of a home and all its influences that he needed. And
when as he knealt for his evening prayer that night, he gave thanks to the
blessed Providence that had shown him the way of true friendship.

209

STUDENT :: LANTERN

For three whole days Jimmy walked on air. He had never known such
happy moments in all his existence. Never before had he been so light-
hearted and cheerful.

And then,—on the morning of the fourth day there came the change.
All the forenoon he sat before the window of his room gazing out over the
tops of the buildings into the space beyond. Nothing tragic, dear reader,
he was only absorbed with the serious thoughts which come to every young
man in love. Sudden moods are a common occurrence to young folks in that
condition,

When he called that afternoon Genevieve noticed there was something
wrong with him, but she did not allude to it. Rather, she tried to dispel his
apparent absorption, and so far succeeded, that by supper-time Jimmy was
more his former self.

After the evening meal, he suggested a stroll through one of the beautiful
parks, to which she readily assented. She was not above certain moods her-
self and always enjoyed the singular peace and quietude so peculiar to parks
and woodlands. Many the times she had spent the twilight hours, listening
to the rustle of the leaves as they unbent themselves to the sweet caress of
the summer breezes.

This night, as before, she found herself listening for the old familiar
sounds. As for Jimmy, he had far weightier matters to think of. He had
about decided that the time was at hand when he must speak to this beauti-
ful girl at his side of their future. He had purposely suggested this stroll,
somehow instinctively feeling that the seductive evening time would aid him
in the consummation of his wishes.

They presently came to a bench and rested from their walk. For several
moments neither spoke until Genevieve remarked: “A penny for your
thoughts, Mr. Jimmy."

"May be they're worth no more than that," he answered, “but of that
you must judge. I was just thinking of a little story I would like to tell you."

"What is it about?" she asked, interested at once.

Under cover of the semi-darkness, Jimmy smiled to himself.. What
would she say to his little story. What verdict would she offer?

"[t's about a little fellow I’ve known for quite a while," he began. “To
me it is very interesting, so I thought you might like to hear it.

“A long time ago, away up in the New Hampshire hills, he first saw the
light of day. His mother died the day he was born, so he never knew that
wonderful influence called mother-love. And it made quite a difference to
him in after years. His father married again within a year of his mother's
death and the step-mother brought to the home several children by a former
marriage, all older than he. Almost from the first they abused him.

“It was the old story of the step-mother with children of her own: they
got everything, he almost nothing. Whenever there was ice cream and
peaches and such good things for the others, they fed him on prunes, And

210

STUDENT «+: LANTERN

oh! how he did hate prunes. He would go off into a corner afterward and
cry himself almost sick.

“His father was quite wealthy and might have given him all manner of
comforts but somehow the step-mother so prejudiced his mind against the
boy that the father neglected him entirely.

‚ "Then, one night, the boy tired of it all, packed up his few belongings
and ran away. He was fifteen then, but they have never seen nor heard
from him since. He spent two whole months of awful hardship, many.times
having to steal from the farmers' fields, through which he passed, such things
as he could find.

"He finally reached Chicago, so famished and his clothes so tattered he
was just about ready to drop. A friendly newsboy found him and bought
him some supper. He has never had a meal since that that tasted better.
He resolved, then and there, that if fortune ever came his way, he would not
forget that newsboy, and he has but recently started a search for him. The
boy also promised to start him selling papers and to find him a place to sleep,
but they became separated almost at once, when a policeman chased them for
loitering on the street. So that night he secreted himself in a freight car
instead.

“In the middle of the night something awakened him. He had unknow-
ingly secreted himself in a car attached to a trans-continental train. He
hardly knew what to do, but decided to wait for daylight. The next day
came and two more beside before he was able to leave the train. And for the
whole time he had nothing but a little dry corn to eat, which he found in one
corner of the car. |

*Finally, however, the train stopped in a great freight yard. It must be
some big city, he thought. He watched his chance and slipped away without
any one seeing him. Several hours later a man found him sitting on a door-
step crying softly. The man took pity on him, and after hearing his story
gave him work. That was a little over twelve years ago. Today he is still
working for the same man, a much loved and trusted employee.

He was always a saving lad and stayed home nights. He never had a
girl like most of the other boys. He never found one that he cared anything
for, until one day Providence brought him a message. Are you listening,
Genevieve?"

“Yes; yes," she answered. “Go on; I'm intensely interested.“

Jimmy continued.

“He answered that message, and in a shorter time than he could have
believed possible, he found himself hopelessly in love with the most charming
girl he had ever known. What to do he didn’t know. He had never had any
experience in anything of the kind before. But finally he decided to place
the whole affair before the girl and let her be the judge.

“And that is what he is doing tonight, Genevieve, placing the story of
his life before the girl he loves; before the one girl in the world that can make

211

a EE

him happy. Dear Genevieve, I am that boy. In telling you this story to-
night I am trying to let you know how my very soul is hungering for you,
how I am longing for the sweet caress of your arms and lips, Tell me, sweet-
heart, is my wish in vain?"

All the magnetism of his fresh young voice went forth to the listening
girl beside him. For a full minute she could hardly realize that her little
prayer of a few short weeks before had indeed come true. And it was with
almost a sob in her voice that she answered him.

"Oh, Jimmy," she said, who could help loving you? It seems almost as
though I had loved you always." 3

At the sound of her words all the pent-up emotion within him gave way,
and he caught her up in his arms and showered her face with kisses.

For a long time they remained in each other's embrace, too overcome for
words. Presently, however, Genevieve gently disengaged herself and asked:

"Really, Jimmy dear, don't you like prunes? Why, I just love them.
They are really good. Now, honest, don't you think they are?”

Well,—er—of course, if she wanted him to although as we remarked
at the beginning, Jimmy Valentine never did like prunes.

“SOUR GRAPES”

66 AL-TER, Wal-ter,” came a shrill call through the clear spring air.
The tousled-headed urchin busily occupied behind the barn,
hastily hid the “makings” for his cigarette. between two stones
and yelled, *Comin'" To his mother, standing on the farm-

house porch watching the sturdy figure with its broad straw-hat approach, he
was the personification of trouble. He was just an ordinary country boy,
freckled and tanned and somewhat large for his thirteen years. Nature and
environment had fitted him to be a leader and favorite of crowd and his
wonderful ability for concocting mischief made him a general enemy of all
peace-loving people. With rather a defiant air he strode to the porch. Не
knew what was coming and intended to be as mean as possible about it.

The little fair-haired woman just waited for him to emerge from the
orchard when she called to him, *Walter, what have you been doing? Here
it is eight o'clock and you haven't your shoes and stockings on yet!“

"Aw, ma!” he grumbled, "do I have to wear em?“

“Certainly.”

“Aw, ma.” He was calculating rapidly: school began at 8:30; ten minutes
here at the porch; ten minutes to put on his shoes, that left ten minutes. He
never could walk the mile to school in ten minutes. That would be three
tardies in three days and all on account of the hated shoes, as he reasoned.
There would be a note from the teacher and a family discussion after which
he saw himself free of the cumbersome shoes.

"Oh, mother,” Walter's older brother broke in from the doorway, “let
him go as he is."

"Well, I don't know.” Mother's blue eyes were wavering in their de-
termination.

“ГИ be late, ma, if I have to put 'em on."

“All right, but mind you don't come home all spattered with mud."

The little bloused figure was already to the gate. Swinging his dinner
pail and letting his feet revel in the coolness of the dewy grass, he started out
through the woods.

"Now what does Bob want of me," he pondered. His suspicions were
well-grounded for he knew from experience that brother Bob always got
value for value. Well, he would be on his guard, especially as Bob had
vowed vengeance on him for sending comic postals to his girl. With a
cheery whistle he dismissed the matter and shied a couple of stones at some
chattering squirrels and was busily engaged in killing a snake that had
crossed his pathway, when the sound of the school bell sent a shock through
him. “Сее! ГП be late," he cried. Grabbing his dinner pail he was off run-
ning swiftly on the hard-worn pathway, but it was no use; the last doleful

213

STUDENT :: LANTERN

sound of the bell found him still a good distance away. There was trouble
in store for him; he wondered what shape it would take. What “teacher”
might do did not trouble him; it was Bob at home who worried him for Bob
was sweet on “teacher” and had promised Walter a good paddling if he heard
any complaints. “She'll ask him to see that I’m not late any more,” he
thought. He saw all his peace gone, saw himself watched every minute.
"Gee! Bob'll get after me now," he muttered.

When he reached the schoolhouse everything was quiet. Hanging his
hat in the entry he marched in head up. The other fellows looked up at
him admiringly; they would never have attempted anything like it; teacher
would have promptly squelched them. He was deeply engrossed in trying
to hook "Reddy" Turnbull's ear when teacher called him to the desk.

"Walter, why were you late?" she asked.

The whole school was attention, heads slyly lifted over books to get the
whole enthralling scene. Walter had firmly intended to fold his arms grand-
ly and await his punishment but "teacher's" blue eyes looked so curious, as
if she really wished to know, that he said “Bob did me a favor this morning
and it surprised me so I guess I forgot to walk fast."

Miss Hill frowned but her cheeks got pink. "Walter" she said, “you
may take the corner seat in the girl's section for the rest of the month."

Slowly he transferred his belongings, surveyed his surroundings, made
faces at a little girl and then settled down to plan the crowd's method of sup-
port if he should need it. The revenge upon "teacher" for this present in-
dignity would come later. That decided, he gave his attention to other mat-
ters. Just now the sixth grade arithmetic class was reciting and that silly
thing, Bernice was trying to explain a problem. Huh! she thought she was
smart because everybody said she was pretty and the fellows tagged after
her. There, teacher was sending-her to her seat and she was crying. Well,
all the West's were cry babies anyway.

But Bernice instead of bursting into tears and laying her head on her
arms merely held her chin in her hands and stared ahead.

If she was going to cry, why didn't she cry, anyway, instead of just
sniveling? The time he put the frog on her neck she cried in torrents. He
watched a tear slowly roll down her cheek from beneath her long wet
lashes, hang a moment and then go splash! on her slate. Another and
another rolled round the curve of her pink cheek, O, maybe she was kinda
cute but she never noticed him so—

Suddenly she turned around and smiling at him with clear blue eyes,
whispered, "Wash my slate."

Now Walter had fully expected to see her eyes all red; but Bernice was
not crying because she was worried about those problems but because she
was tired and discouraged. Nobody had said anything about her pretty
new dress and on her birthday she had expected something from Walter
Steffin but he didn't send anything, not even a comic card. All the other
boys had beer so nice and here was one boy who did not even notice her.

Walter grinned back rather bewildered but he took the proffered slate.
Anyone who could cry and laugh at the same time was beyond him. Poor
girl, she had had rather a hard time with those problems; her slate was all
marked up, problems crossed out and done over again. Here away up in
the corner his name. Her tears had nearly washed it out. He stole a glance
at her; she was smiling to herself. Was she thinking about writing his name
here, maybe?

Yes, she certainly was. She had written: Walter Steffin is a mean,
hateful little boy, and she was smiling to think what he would do when he
found it.

Walter, in perfect innocence, washed her slate scrupulously clean and
handed it back with a grin.

Bernice watched him wondering. Now what did that mean? Didn't he
care even about what she said—or what? He would bear watching.

That night he watched her walk home with “Reddy.” They were talk-
ing earnestly together. Now what could he be saying. Walter wished he
knew more about those things. Maybe "Red" was asking her to be his girl.
Ye gods! (Bob had said that once.) If only a wild horse would come dash-
ing along, then he would stop it after it had killed "Red" and show her how
brave he was. "Reddy" wouldn't walk home with her tomorrow night, that
was certain. That night after leaving Bernice, “Red” was attacked by Walt
Steffin and in a fair fight given a severe drubbing, for Walt was a little fury.

The next day after school Walter hung around. How would he do it?
He didn't know how to ask her and then she might refuse and he couldn't
lower his dignity to such an extent. What would the fellows say, anyway?
At last Bernice came out of the door and he walked slowly down the road
until she caught up with him.

"I'm gonna walk home this way tonight, Bernice,” he said to her across
the road, without lifting his eyes.

They walked along in silence for a time. At length she said, *My! these
books are heavy."

Instantly he was across the road. "Oh, limee carry 'em." Why hadn't
he thought of that before? They all did that. During the transfer of the
books their hands touched and he shuddered. His were black and hers were
nice and white. How he must look! Barefooted, dirty feet, dirty hands,
dirty face, ragged hat, faded blouse. Why hadn't he waited till tomorrow
and cleaned up. Gee! what must she think of him.

"Going to the party tomorrow night?" Bernice asked.

He was startled. He hadn't thought about going; such things had never
interested him. “You going?" he parried.

“I think so," Bernice answered mentally adding, “if sister Jane goes."

“ГП be there," he said quickly, hoping that Bob couldn't take teacher so
that he, Walter, might go along, for mother wouldn't let him go alone.

They reached her house and he hung on the gate awhile and when her
mother called her in he turned slowly homeward. Bernice had looked at him

215

STUDENT :: LANTERN

shyly several times and his heart kept jumping in remembrance. He had
never felt this way before—so strange and happy. He wandered along enact-
ing imaginary dramas in which he and she were respectively hero and hero-
ine. He was brought down to solid earth by a flash of lightning and he real-
ized that it was quite dark. The family was at supper when he got home
and mother seemed worried. He entered sheepishly, hung his hat and dinner
pail away and sat down quietly, hoping to escape comment.

But mother shattered his hopes immediately by saying, Where have you
been, son ?"

He looked at his slate and said, “I walked home with Bernice.” He was
on uncertain ground and the best he could do was to tell the truth. Bob
grunted at his reply.

"Yes?" mother said, questioningly.

He threw a shame-faced glance at mother, caught father's encouraging
nod and went on, "An' I guess I walked home kinda slow." He paused.
"Gee! she's awfully pretty," he added desperately, and stopped immediately
in terror, What if Bob should tell the fellows! Bob was coughing severely
and left the room. Walter felt that he would have had to tell someone; at
any rate nobody was laughing. Mother was really quite grave; her boy was
growing up.

"Ma?"

“Yes, Walter”

"Ma, kin I go to the party tomorrow night?” Не awaited her answer
anxiously.

“Why, yes, if Bob goes.”

“Aw, ma, it's only over to Thompson’s, can't I go anyway P"

“No, Walter.”

Well, here Bob was coming back; if only he would go. Walter was
rather suspicious that Bob had been laughing at him. He would square that
account later. Now he approached Bob with the question, “Оо you want me
to clean the buggy tomorrow, Bob?”

“No, sonny,“ Bob grinned at him. {

Any other time that epithet would have been a declaration of war be-
tween them, but now he needed Bob's help so he tried a different way. “Do
you want me to carry a note to teacher?" he asked, not knowing that Bob
and teacher had had a little difference of opinion.

Bob was visibly nettled. “You mind your own business," he said.
"What's the matter with you, anyway? Has Bernice—"

But here father interrupted with a quiet, *Oh, Bob, will you see Friedal
about that gray span of his tomorrow?" There was meaning in the glance
father gave Bob and Bob understood: Walter’s feelings were to be respected.

With a despairing glance at mother Walter crawled back into his shell.

"Are you going to Thompson's party tomorrow night, Bob?" mother
asked. | ў

"Why yes. Is that what this young diplomate has been trying to find

216

out? Well, well, so you are going along? Maybe you'd like me to drive
around to get Bernice?”

Walter's face lit up. “Oh, Bob!”

*But I'm not; so don't think about it."

That night Walter did not go to sleep for a long time, but lay awake
thinging of the wonderful things he would do for Bernice, and when he fell
asleep he only continued his waking dream.

In the morning he was up bright and early, scrubbing and brushing.
His shoes and stockings were put on and he started off to school long before
eight that he might walk past Bernice’s house. She was away ahead with
a crowd of girls so he loitered on behind. All day long he tried to talk to
Bernice but there was always a crowd of girls about her. At night she was
also surrounded so he had to walk home alone. Hurrying through with his
supper he cleaned and brushed and scrubbed until viewing himself in the
mirror he felt satisfied. He had on a new high collar which made him feel
real dignified, until Bob, who was poking along, said, "We'll leave the lan-
tern home tonight, father, I don't want two shining lights with me."

At last, after a great deal of deliberation on Bob's part, they were off.
Walter wondered if Bernice would be there already. In spite of Bob's delib-
eration it was still quite early when they arrived and Bernice was not yet
there. Walter felt ill at ease; none of the gang were there, only strange
boys, and he sat around in a corner; his high collar choked him; his clothes
were uncomíortable and he felt as if everybody was looking at him; he didn't
know what to do or what to say and was tremendously relieved when Ber-
nice arrived. As soon as he saw her he called out, “Hello, Bernice.” Every-
body turned and stared and Bernice frowned. “Goodness!” she thought,
“how horrid he looks." Poor Walter felt more miserable than ever.

After a while they played a foolish game and before long Walter was
thoroughly enjoying himself. Eight boys were placed behind eight chairs.
Seven chairs were occupied by girls and one was empty. The boy behind the
empty chair had to wink at one of the girls and try to get her away from a
boy, and then that boy had to steal a girl. When Walter’s turn came, he
winked at Bernice and wouldn't let her out of his chair. Even when the
other chaps winked at her, he held her back and after a while she sat real
quiet and seemed to enjoy herself.

It was as a thunderbolt when, as he went to say good night to Bernice,
she turned on him vehemently, saying, "You are a hateful, mean little boy."

All the way home he kept pondering over that phrase, and once when
Bob stopped whistling to say, "Have a good time, kid?" Walter gulped and
said, “Uh-huh.”

He slipped away to bed as soon as he got home. Thoroughly puzzled,
he finally resolved to go to Bernice with a peace offering early in the morn-
ing, and then lapsed into a deep, dreamless sleep.

A pebble thrown against his window awakened him quite early. A

second later he saw Jake Sells, one of the gang, walk up to the house from
the orchard.

"Get up, Walt," he called excitedly, "there's a bear loose from the circus
and there's a hunt out for him. The men'll pass along here pretty soon.
Hustle up!”

Walter tumbled into his clothes and hurried out, calling to his mother
that he didn't want any breakfast. “Gee! it's lucky I ain't got anything to
do this morning," he cried, as they hurried off.

"The other fellows are waiting over in the grove," said Jake, "I tried to
get Tom Delton to come along but he's going over to Bernice West's this
morning with a present for her."

Walter started guiltily,

But Jake went on in supreme scorn, "He's been over there pretty near
every day."

Walter swallowed hard. Jealousy, anger and shame swept over him,
one after the other. Then, “The sissy boy," he sneered, “a taggin’ after
girls.”

Our Parting Word. “
"For everything under the sun,

there is a time and place." Many
days have come and gone, and yet
it seems but a short time since the
present staff began its task, arduous
at first, of publishing the “Lantern.”
And now has come the time, and
here the place to say a last few
words. It is not without pleasure
that we pass our responsibility on

to others, and yet not without re-

gret also. Regret, because of the
pleasant associations we have

formed, and the wealth of experi-
ence that it has been our privilege
to obtain. Pleasure, because as we
look back upon our finished work,

present staff, whose ability has been
tried and tested, and found reliable,
has been chosen by the executive
committee of the Lyceum to hold
the honorable and worthy position
of editor. Mr. Whatley is just the
man for the place and we congratu-
late the committee on its selection.
But it is equally important that the
other members of the staff be the
"best material" available. Again
we offer congratulations. With Mr.
O'Keefe as assistant editor, Fred
Schmidt as business manager, and
Hugo Geisler, Jr, as circulation
manager, we feel safe in our declar-
ation that the "Lantern" is in good
hands.

With these parting words, we
hold out to the incoming staff a
record untarnished, a splendid sum
of money in the treasury, and over
and above all, the hope that theirs
shall be as successful and harmon-
lous as term as was ours.

there is something in store for those
who admire clear-cut engravings.
Our pictures this year are of the
highest quality, and in this degree
we believe we have out-stripped our
predecessors. Each department has
been ably edited, many novel say-
ings are interspersed, the jokes that
we will print are absolutely new,
pleasing bits of scenery adorn the
pages, and with but these few sug-
gestions, we leave the issue with
our readers. Notwithstanding the
fact that the cost of publishing the
"Aurora" has increased consider-
ably, we will sell it at the exceed-
ingly low price of fifty cents, as
usual. Every single student that
has a bit of school spirit will want
one of these books to which in after
years he or she may turn and recall

Junior Play.

The event that every High School student looks forward to with anxious
eyes is the annual “Junior Play.” The class of '14 are now going through
-ehearsals night after night to prepare for the students an entertainment
which will be worthy of their praise and may be looked upon as one of the
best shows ever given by S. H. S. students;

The play to be given this year is in vaudeville form, containing five acts
displaying the best dramatic and musical talent of the class. A synopsis of
the play is as follows:

ACRI:

г “Boosters of Blackville.”
Scene—Boosters’ club rooms. + Cast—Eight coons.

A continuous laugh.

ACT П. |
"Professor Zouletski," in his world renowned Slight of Hand регїогтапсе.
All new tricks, never been shown before.
ACTII
“Taking Father's Place."
A comedy in a broker's office. An all-star cast.
e

Two famous comedians in a laughing hit.

AGIAN:

“Dreams.” The best looking girls in the city and all the latest song hits.

This is to be given May 29th, in the Masonic Temple, where dancing will
be enjoyed after the performance.

The rehearsals are being directed by the Misses Denfield and Lutz, who
are doing their utmost to make it the success that it promises to be. It will
not be necessary to say anything about the stage manager, only that it is
Squire Polson, who we know is very capable of handling this great undertak-
ing and will be, in great part, responsible for the success of the Junior Play.

John Runchey, Football and Basketball Captain.

Three years ago there came into this school a little Freshman, as green
as the rest, but with a desire to make a team, small as he was. He turned
out and worked. His ambition was reached when he made the football team,
a year ago. But still he kept on and became a star the next year. But still
he kept on and was elected football captain for next fall. But still he didn't
stop, but turned out for basketball and made it. His good playing won for
him the captaincy of next team. And again he kept on and made the track
team, winning his letter in the Day City Eastern meet. What will he be
next year? Such an all around athlete is scarce in school, and like other

schools, Saginaw has had a few. Runchey ranks high in this list upon which
are the names of Krupp, Green, Spencer, Cooper and Madden. We sincerely |
wish him a most successful year 1913-14.

* l STUDENT LANTERN

On May 5th, the Saginaw High School musical societies presented at
the Academy a revival of the Gilbert & Sullivan opera, “The Mikado.” The
scene of this delightful production is laid in the Land of Blossoms, and the
exquisite setting, as well as the catchy music and the talent furnished by the
Amphion and the Glee clubs, united to make the evening a complete success.
The Violin club as accompanists, although but recently organized, justified
their existence most pleasingly.

Nanki-Poo, son of the Mikado, appears in the city of Titipu to find Yum-
Yum, whom he loves. Disguised as a wandering minstrel, he is fleeing from
his father, who wishes time to wed Katisha, a lady possessed of a beautiful
“left elbow” and other doubtful charms. The chief dignitaries in the town of
Titipu are Koko (guardian of Yum-Yum and her two sisters, the Lord High
Executioner, and Pooh-Bah, the Lord High Everything Else. Koko has just
received notice from the Mikado that unless an execution takes place within
a month, the position of Lord High Executioner will be abolished. Since no
criminal can be found and Koko’s professional pride forbids self-decapitation,
he prevails upon Nanki-Poo to take his place in return for Yum-Yum's hand.
The magistrates of the city in the person of Pooh-Bah consent to perjure
themselves by swearing that the victim has been duly slain, and Nanki-Poo
and Yum-Yum depart on their honeymoon. 'The Mikado then arrives with
his daughter-in-law elct, Katisha, and hears a lively recital of the criminal's
death from Koko, Pooh-Bah and Pitti-Sing, one of the three little maids.
When he discovers that the criminal was his son, the three accomplices are

condemned to death. 'To save them, Koko plans to marry Katisha. His
wooing of this “most unattractive old thing," is very amusing and was ably
handled by both characters. Katisha finally consents, Nanki-Pooh returns
with Yum-Yuh, and a general reconciliation ensues.

Floyd Rieder added much glory to the reputation won last spring in the
Junior Play. His voice was strong and musical and his theatrical ability
undoubted. He made a very jaunty and effective Koko. Otto Wolf and
Erma Klumpp as Poo-Bah and Katisha played their difficult parts exceed-
ingly well. Miss Klumpp's voice is especially sweet, while Mr. Wolf, with
his "family pride," furnished some of the best comedy in the play. 'The three
little maids were charming. Miss Spencer made a graceful and dainty Yum-
Yum, while Miss Field's voice is delightful. Mr. Fred Osler and Mr. Arthur
Wrege, although not in High School, very kindly consented to take the parts
of Nanki-Poo and the Mikado. The chorus showed signs of much diligent
training, and as a token of their appreciation, presented Mrs. Wilson and
Miss Lauer with baskets of roses during the performance,
